    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? did yoga, elliptical and a 2 mile walk - not a lot of time on the elliptical - only 20 mins because I didn't have my iPod, a magazine and I had just taken a benedryl.
    What would I have done differently? um - not go over on calories with ALL THAT exercise..ahh yes the cupcake that I had to have wasn't necesary either :huh: What has happened to my willpower? :explode: I know what needs to be done but I am feeling some family stress that is getting the best of me. At least the exercise is helping!
    What is today's personal goals? track calories, check in, not go over on calories and the elliptical

    Woo - I am going no where fast. So discouraging :grumble: I keep working out but I can't get the eating under control. I was hungry all day yesterday. I guess I just need to take each day at a time. Good thing the dress I am wearing to a wedding on Saturday has a little give :laugh:

    stick with it goldk! we have all been through the same thing (that's why we are here!) ... you can do it. I know that my cravings are better on days that I concentrate on eating more protein for meals and snacks, maybe you want to try it?

    Home again, just to let you know... Hope you ladies have a great weekend. Had the Ooms and Tantes for dinner (Uncles and Aunts in Dutch) so the table was set for 17. Had a few college kids thrown in too. Dinner was delicious and I ate small portions. Not going to log since it's after midnight. At least clean-up is done! Tomorrow they come back for coffee and then we pack for the weddings Friday and Saturday in MI. It's a crazy life full of sorrow and blessings, so I'm going with the flow and enjoying the ride! I'll be back sometime Sunday. Votes for Monday weigh-in?? Or might it be a good to pass this one up? :noway: I'm sure the festivities and travel will have their effect! Talk to you soon!

    sounds like you are running like crazy Hoosiermomma ... I would say weigh-in and see where you are - probably not as bad as you think.

    What is today's personal goals? track calories, check in, and go for a walk tonight. Walked around Plymouth with my daughter today. Hopefully will get another walk in this evening. No Y today - no school today.... no school always throws off my schedule :noway: I went to Papa Ginos for lunch and had a chicken caesar pocket for lunch 1000 calories... I thought I was seeing things :explode: Good thing I get to start all over tomorrow. Time to drink some water and flush out all the sodium that was in the pocket too. :grumble:

    Well, that was a weekend!! Laid around the house with 2 sick daughters yesterday and took reports from the rest of the ill family! Had a GREAT time but many of us were struck with something!

    Actually did weigh-in yesterday morning- thanks for the encouragement ltspaul :flowerforyou: Up a bit more than a pound 139.6 (totally expected, still a little depressing.) If I get back on track now that should reverse fairly quickly!

    Welcome jlanab! :flowerforyou: Hope you become a regular part of our supportive little group. I can tell you this keeps us going when we really don't feel much like it! (today :sick: )

    Yep, goldk :flowerforyou: those restaurant meals are killer. I am trying to think ahead on them. Sometime there are no great choices, but there usually are better choices!

    Here I am starting my week out a little late, but back on track! YEA!!
